Give the toddler their own room like they should have from day 1. Good luck getting them used to their own space! My DD shared a room with us til she was 2! Our place was only 1 bedroom so I feel your pain. When we moved n she got her own room it was great for her as well as my DH and I!!! Might take toddler awhile to get used to it but don't give up. My 2nd DD is 11weeks and she has been in her own room in her crib since day 1 and has always done great in her own room! Not sure if u want your newborn in their own room or with you? I'm just saying you will all sleep better in separate rooms but do what works best for you! Good luck!

I don't agree with the other posters only because if you put the 2 yr old in their own room now they'll view it as you replacing them with the baby. We bedshared with #1 until he was about 13 months (naps were in his crib in his own room when he was about 6 months). I have a new baby that's 7 weeks tomorrow. At first when we brought the new baby home, we took a hard line approach to make #1 sleep in his room even though the baby was with us. After a few hours of my husband on his room with him, he'd fall asleep, but he'd wake up constantly during the night... NOT fun. What we ended up doing was letting him come in with us when he'd wake up during the night which is what we used to do if he'd wake up during the night (which happened rarely). Now it's been about a 2 weeks that he's been sleeping through the night and for nearly a week, he's been really easy to put to bed (a few stories, lights out and no tears). I think you have to wait until your 2 year old is used to the baby before giving them their own room, so it's separate situations vs. I'm getting kicked out to make room for the new baby.

My son will be 2 years old when the new baby comes and I'm keeping the new baby with us in our room for the first year. I don't want my son feeling like he's being replaced or pushed aside. Plus, the new baby will be waking up at all hours and it will interrupt my son's sleep and I think that's unfair.
